User manual

Immediately after the User License Agreement is the authentication challenge.

It will look like the following figure.

Figure - 2 Authentication Challenge

The first line contains the host system’s internal hardware clock date/time

setting. The next 3 lines contain 10 groups of 4 characters each. These values

have different content each time the authentication is presented.

The bottom box is for the user to enter a response to the challenge. Asterisks

(*) will be echoed in the place of characters entered. The authentication

phrase is dependent upon the specific contents of the CD, which are customer

specific. A supplemental instruction sheet is provided to each customer giving

specific instructions for authentication.

After typing the authentication phrase, press <Enter> or use the <Tab> key (if

needed) to ensure the [OK] button is highlighted (as in the image). Then press

the <Enter> key.

After the system receives the authentication phrase, the screen will then clear.

If the authentication phrase was correct, the user will be asked to wait a

moment (“One moment…please”) and then the boot process will proceed.

If the authentication fails, (incorrect authentication phrase, pressing the

<Esc> key or the <Cancel> button), the system will not start. To re-attempt

system startup, the user must re-cycle power to the computer.

After authentication, the next screen is the Time Reference screen. This

screen will time out and proceed with the current time in 30 seconds if there is

no user interaction. This step allows setting WhirlWind’s system time. The

time is obtained from the RTC (Real Time Clock) chip on the machine. There is

no way for the product to know what time zone or locality it represents. The

software is set to UTC (Zulu) time zone.
